Small Groups

Fellowship groups are important as a means of getting to know one another and of deepening our faith. We can discuss various issues, we can pray and worship together, and we can enjoy each other’s company. These are currently Wesley's small groups but if there isn't one that suits you, feel free to form another. You can find further information about the groups (location and contacts) on the board inside the church.

Small groups are meeting virtually on Zoom throughout the week. If you would like to join one of our weekly small groups, email us and we will be in touch.

Mondays

Bible Study Group

"We have found our time together both rewarding and helpful. Although we normally use the same material as the Fellowship group on Monday afternoon, it is noticeable how the two groups look at the same material through different eyes, each bringing their own insights."

When ? At 10.30am, fortnightly

Where? At Wesley

Fellowship Group (with some Bible study)

"We are now mainly a group of pension-age members who enjoy both the studies we undertake and the fellowship and friendship."

When? At 2.30pm

Where? In members' homes

Tuesdays

Bible Study Group

"A lively interactive group with a wide range of backgrounds and viewpoints, which makes for stimulating and rewarding discussion. We go systematically through a book of the Bible, loosely led by two of the members."

When? At 8.00pm on the first and third Tuesdays of the month.

Where? In members' homes

Wednesdays

Women's fellowship

"A friendly and caring group of ladies, who always welcome new members. We enjoy a wide of range of speakers on a variety of topics, including both theological and cultural matters. Interspersed with the speakers are members' eveing, organised within the group."

When? At 7.30pm on the first and third Wednesdays of the month, from April to October

Where? At Wesley

Bible Study Group

"We read from different versions of the Bible, comparing translations and supplementing our knowledge with commentaries, study guides - and Google! We sometimes use group resources and questions, but don't have a regular leader, each playing a role in raising questions and stimulating discussion. We do have a tendency to drift off-topic into broader discussions, particularly when we related the Bible message to the practicalities of our daily lives. We meet in a welcoming and supportive atmosphere."

When? At 7.30pm on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month.

Where? In members' homes

Thursdays

Bible Teaching

"The sessions are led by various members of the church, usually with space for discussion. But rather than working through verse by verse, the leaders follow a number of themes that help to integrate the book being studied, both with itself and with the rest of the Bible. Meetings include refreshments, music and worship."

When? 7.45-9.00pm, every Thursday

Where? At Wesley

Bright Hour

"A group of ladies who meet for fellowship, devotions and refreshments. We have a varied programme of religious, practical, social and fun activities, including crafts, exercise, Bible studies and sharing of memories and interests. We go out for lunch once a quarter, and travel to London during Lent for Daffodil Day at Westminster Central Hall. We mark the seasons with special activities at Harvest, Christmas and Easter, and take a break during August."

When? 2.30-1.00, every Thursday

Where? At Wesley

Fridays

Friday Group

"We are a group of eight, meeting in each other's homes. We look at the four 'Related' lectionary readings for the following Sunday, and talk about them, discussing how they link together in theme and content, We share concerns and have a short time of prayer, then we share supper and fellowship together."

When? 8.00-10.15, fortnightly

Where? In members' homes
